Amazing work! Years ago Mozilla was working on a javascript implementation to help support legacy flash content on a Flashless web, but that got quickly abandoned before it mature significantly. Glad that someone else is working on it with

I'm always surprised when garbage articles like these make it to the top of HN. I guess HN is not immune to "i only read the title" kind of threads. And since it sounds like an anti-facebook kind of article, it gets HN's

Bingo. Still a good read, and easydns is just trying to profit over a screw-up from a competitor, but still essentially an ad.

It's not MS fault, of course, but since MS acquired GH, GH has been much more relaxed. New features are added all the time, clearly not ready for the spotlight. It gives you a different comfort knowing your daddy is there as a safety n

Heck, you don't need to use the reddit website at all. There's no lack of reddit clients, even several open source ones.

Most of my subs are now constantly full of American politics, even the ones that are not about politics. As a non American that get really boring fast. As someone who avoids mainstream news like as much as possible, reddit became just anoth

Short sighted and terrible PR, yes, but to say that what Firefox was doing was shady, specially anything close to as shady as Brave, is being straight out disingenuous.

> It was so precise Then make it less so. Browser APIs can - and do - lie to their users. For example, if you try to query the color of a visited link, you won't get the actual color, but instead you get the default link color. This

So an ideal solution would use mailing list threads as the protocol with a custom UI on top. Same as we use git as the protocol with GitHub eye candy on top. Imagine github as we have now, but all data for issues and PRs are saved as e-mail

There was a comment here from someone working in a company (strongly hinted that it was Google or Facebook) where they described that basically most people are aware that lots of what they do is terrible for the web and humanity in the long

Wouldn't that hurt simple websites which don't track by default?

Don't use tracking tools and advertising networks that hurt people's privacy and you're good. You don't need a banner.

It's still true though. Engineers, specially, have had the power of voting with their CVs for a long time. The only reason Facebook is able to pay ridiculous salaries today is because engineers voted with their CVs continuously for the

> he's 64 That definitely puts things in a different perspective. It can't really damage his career much when his career is 20+ years old. At this point, if he doesn't have his own side gig, lots of companies, big and smal

Doesn't really matter. The progression of the seasons is slow enough that I can get used to the apparent movement of the morning sun and always know more of less if it's about 6am, 7am, 8am, or 9am. Don't really use alarms. I

Riding the subway doesn't make you sick. Not washing your hands and then touching your face with hands that have the virus from touching parts of the train makes you sick. You can't touch your face much if you have a mask on it. T

So do plenty of others? Last I checked, most supermarkets, electronic stores, clothes stores, etc, all have online shops. Oh and mind you, those shops usually have curated list of products, not scamy products imported from China and sold at
